Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire Beggars Bush 1848

It was reported in the Welshman 9th November 1905 as part of the historical records of the Pembrokeshire (Castlemartin) Imperial Yeomanry that on August 14th, 1848, the Royal yacht arrived at Milford Haven, and Prince Albert, “after paying a flying visit to the Dockyard, journeyed over on horseback to see Pembroke Castle. The Prince rode down Bush Hill as far as the Beggars’ Bush, where a fine view of the old Castle can be obtained.”

This is likely to the location recorded as a WW2 Gun Emplacement, at Thornton Road.
